Action│installation - SITE SPECIFIC INDIA

Brown Leaves (2007)

Action and site specific installation│dust, leaves, architecture│Fine Arts Faculty M.S.U. Vadodara, India


 At the top of the stairs which leads to the library, a window. It opens up to the ceiling , a rectangular central surface in rhythm from the left to the right by drain pipes forming two lines.

The overlooking tree has formed at its base a thick carpet of leaves and branches , yellowish-brownish. The space is littered with cardboard boxes and plastic objects. To access, you must jump on the window sill and down a staircase of black metal which is not set. From the top, I overhang the school entrance, I observe the movement of students and cars. One must raise the head to see me. I am both visible and exposed, hidden and protected. Under my feet, the carpet of leaves crack. I sink little in there.

From the centre of the rectangle, my foot open a circular space. The ground is grey. All around gathered ele- ments in a spiral. The ground is little moist. Each day, I return to ensure its cleanliness.
